Profile Information

What is your role in the open government community (are you a journalist, non-profit member, educator, concerned member of the public)?
I am a journalist and a non-profit member. As the founder of Transparency Matters and the director of content at VoterWatch, I wear a number of hats!
What does "government transparency" mean to you?
Government transparency means democracy -- it's the insane notion that American citizens have the right to know how their representatives are spending taxpayer dollars, exercising various powers and carrying out the work of the electorate.
